I wanted a lighter, and hopefully more accurate barrel for my heavy barrel 10/22. Took a chance on a Green Mountain stainless fluted with Bentz chamber.
Installed it without hogging out the laminated stock. Barrel to receiver fit took a few taps with a rubber mallet. Set the action screw at 15”lbs. The barreled action went from free-float to snug fit from end to end. Figured I would glass bed and free float later, if needed.
Range tested today with 200 rounds of SK+. 50 yard group shown. Functioning was 100%, using both the 10-round factory and 15-round factory magazines. I used a front bag solo, no rear bag since it was in my other truck. Stock trigger sucks, but it will be next to get attention. Vortex at max magnification worked well. Target at 50 yards.
I paid $240 for this barrel on Ebay and so far, the little rifle exceeds my modest expectations.
